SAMUEL  P.  AVERY,  in  anticipation  of  certain  changes  in  his 
business,  and  intending  hereafter  to  devote  himself  to  the  importa¬ 
tion  and  sale  of  Works  of  Art  of  the  highest  class  only,  has  determined 
to  make  a  Public  Exhibition  and  Sale  of  his  entire  collection  of 
exclusively  foreign  paintings. 

They  number  nearly  One  Hundred,  and  include  good  examples  of 
the  French.  Belgian,  German,  Spanish,  and  Italian  Schools.  He  will 
not  attempt  to  praise  these  works,  they  will  be  judged  upon  their 
merits.  But  it  may  not  be  improper  to  state  that  every  Painting  is 
his  property,  nothing  has  been  added  from  outside  sources,  they  were 
either  painted  expressly  to  his  order,  or  selected  by  him  in  Europe ; 
they  have  never  been  in  other  hands,  neither  have  they  been  offered 
at  auction  or  ever  exposed  for  sale  except  in  his  private  rooms.  Many 
of  them  are  the  latest  works  of  the  Artists,  and  therefore  they  are  to 
the  public  essentially  a  new  collection. 

In  consideration  of  the  precarious  chances,  at  this  time,  of  an 
Auction  honestly  conducted,  Mr.  Avery  reserves  to  himself  the  right 
to  put  a  reservation  upon  a  few  important  works,  or  to  withdraw 
them  at  the  sale,  should  no  bid  be  made  approximating  to  their  first 
cost.  But  the  greater  part  will  be  put  up  in  good  faith,  without  any 
reserve,  with  a  full  reliance  upon  the  appreciation  and  support  of  a 
generous  public. 


ALL  PURCnASES  WILL  BE  DELIVERED  IN  THE  CITY 
FREE  OF  CHARGE.
